Halloween special: What are We Start Fires scared of?

The star also told NME.COM that she is frightened of being buried alive.

“When I was small I was very, very terrified of clowns,” she explained. “I’ve got this picture of me when I was two being held aloft by these two scary clowns at this Butlins-style place in Wales and I’m totally crying my eyes out!”

She admitted her fears didn’t stop there.

“I’m also a bit scared of being buried alive, I have recurring nightmares about that – somewhere inside I like to think I’d be like Uma Thurman in ’Kill Bill’ though, and get myself out,” she added. “Um, my brother Ashley is scared of Elton John… that’s a bit weird.”
